Abstract

The development, validation, and application of a new radioimmunoassay for haloperidol in biological fluids is described. The antiserum, raised against N-amino-butyl chlorophenyl piperidine bovine albumin conjugate, could not distinguish between haloperidol and its reduced metabolite, but it could discriminate against chlorophenyl piperidine (cross-reaction 2.6%). The fluorophenyl metabolites of haloperidol were not recognized by the antiserum. Haloperidol determinations were made on less than 100 microliter aliquots of human and rhesus monkey plasma or diluted urine without prior extraction of the sample. The radioimmunoassay was applied to the study of the pharmacokinetics of intravenous haloperidol administration to two male rhesus monkeys. Salient features of the results are as follows. As with man, the plasma concentration versus time curve could be resolved into three compartments, but there were differences in the distribution of haloperidol between the compartments. The apparent volume of distribution for the two monkeys examined was 5.87 L kg-1 and 7.37 L kg-1, considerably smaller than in man, a difference almost entirely due to a much smaller tissue compartment. The biological half-life of 15.97 hr and 7.56 hr was si...Continue Reading

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.

Antipsychotic Drugs

Antipsychotic drugs are a class of medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought), principally in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Discover the latest research on antipsychotic drugs here
